Doesn't work in Firefox, but works in Chrome. Are people even testing other browsers these days?

thanks- fixed that. Takes a while for bl.ocks to update from gist though
mmastrac
Thanks. Still not 100% though. It's missing the axis that renders in Chrome.
jlaurito
Yeah- my carelessness (again): full fix is on gist but will take a minute.
jlaurito
Also- thanks for the bug reports. Really helpful.

Working perfectly now, good stuff. :)

Setting your mouse's tracking speed to the maximal value makes it trivial to get a high speed. Similarly, a large screen gives you more room to accelerate :)

Zooming out your browser window is also an effective way of cheating....

Yeah 4K monitor with a bit of a zoom out you hardly need mouse speed to help - got 72.3 MPH average not trying much.

also triggering a right-click menu in the top corner, then moving the mouse to the bottom corner and clicking makes the cursor teleport in 1 frame

Here I though someone had made a digital speedometer attached to a wheel that an actual live mouse ran upon...

That would have been cool.
